Emergency Bagworm ApplicationsNow is the time of year that you will see major browning occur on your beautiful trees. Most likely you have not noticed
the pesky worms hanging on your tree feeding due to their size and camouflage. Well, now they are growing larger along
with their appetites and the material they first used for the bags are turning brown, making them easier to spot. Call
us with your Bagworm Application needs as soon as possible as Emergency clean ups are being put on a first call, first serve
basis. We are through with our orginal list of jobs lined up before the hatch, we are staying within 1 day of calls
at this point. Pending weather, we should be able to keep up at this point. Call 712-623-4016 to schedule your

Bagworms in full force.We are going strong on our bagworm treatments, there have been confirmed hatches at every location we are treating so far.
I also confirmed pricing on competition is almost 400 % more. They are charging $50 to show up in driveway and $10 /
tree and they get more money per tree if tree is over 15 foot tall. Example.... 2, 15 foot trees, my charge is
$40, theirs ... $70. Another example, like the one I ran into just the other day. 35 Trees, 15 foot tall... their charge,
$400. My Quote...... $125.00 . The frustrating thing about this bid is that I provided this customer
a quote and they did not have me do the job, but they called competition and had them spray with out talking price.
Let me get this straight, I am using a superior mist blower, I am using superior chemicals, In fact, they are
using chemicals that the bagworms have been easily adapting to as Iowa state is reporting. This should be a no brainer,
but now I see where they get all their money for advertising. This is not going to change how I do business, I will
NOT charge what they are charging. I also will not mail your money out of town. This is my local business guarantee.
